90s TV legend Anneka Rice posts about hilarious mistaken identity as workmen think she's 'from Gladiators'

TV presenter Anneka Rice has recalled how she was recently mistaken for a mystery celebrity by builders. The 64-year-old Challenge Anneka host played a game of 'Guess Who?' with her social media followers in a hilarious story on Twitter. Last year, Anneka announced that Challenge Anneka would be returning to screens - read more about that here.

Based on questions she was asked by the builders, Anneka suggested a number of different celebrities who the builders thought she might be. In the first tweet of a thread, she began: "Meanwhile … I have workmen in the house who are excited to recognise me.

"But i’m pretty sure they think I’m Michaela Strachen. Going with it. Googling my back catalogue quickly. Fun to have a new ouevre…" Winterwatch's Michaela wasn't the only guess from Anneka, though.
